The other part of the equation is making sure that your packages are
recognized as such by Launch Services and the Finder. There are several
ways to do this, but one thing you will want to do is to give them an
appropriate extension and have your application claim that extension in
its Info.plist. This is all pretty extensively documented, and there are
a host of examples.

Unfortunately, I've been unable to get the 'recognized by Launch Services
and the Finder' part to work. Actually, even my own app shows the generic
folder icon when I open one of these 'package files'.
I created a new document type in the Application Settings, I gave it an
extension, I clicked the 'File Package', and I even gave it an icon. I
tried logging out and back in again. Unfortunately my documents still show
up as normal folders, with no special icon.
What are the other 'several ways to do this'? So far I haven't found
anything that lets you set the 'package flag' (if there is such a thing),
just read it.
Thanks!
Andrew
